One of the best things I've learned is to keep in mind that every student in your class or group is not the same. Some are visual learners, some physical. Their motivations are different and some will be suprisingly needy.
My knee-jerk reaction was to believe that the needier learners would not make good radiographers - while that was generally true (they were simply not as mature as the others), one of my favorite successes was a student who lived in my pocket for two years who now teaches in a program in another state.
And - NEVER NEVER lose your sense of humor!

This is a beginner's positioning tool, only. When used, you are focusing on the shadow of light bulb, not on knowing the underlying anatomy.

As a trainee tech, of course, one of the first examinations we get to carry out are chest X-Ray's.
Obviously, amongst other factors, you must included the apices of the lung fields when performing an erect PA chest X-Ray.
I, and many other students, were, at first unaware that in order to include the apices on the X-Ray, you must make sure that a shadow of the tops of the shoulders and base of the neck are cast onto the image receptor before taking the X-Ray as marked with the crosses on this image: 
It's surprising how many students at first fail to understand how an X-Ray image is formed, and what must be included/displayed on the receptor prior to taking the X-Ray itself in order to produce a competent image.
Simple really, but make sure your students understand this otherwise they'll be producing images without the correct anatomy displayed.

SubjectHelp understanding ionization chambers

Hello. I'm just looking for some help with regards to understanding ionization chambers. I've checked out google etc, but just wondered if someone could see if I'm on the right track here...
Scenario
You're about to perform an erect PA chest X-Ray. You select the kV and mAs, and take the X-Ray. Would I be right in saying that the ionization chamber(s) lie behind/are built into the bucky/behind the image receptor somewhere, so that once the ionization chamber(s) detect the kV and mAs that you set for the X-Ray, it then cuts off somehow so that the patient does not receive more kV or mAs than was originally set by yourself for the examination?
Just a little confused, and need this clearing up, if anyone can help?
